Growth of Ferroelectric PLT Thin Films on Various Single Crystal Substrates
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Ferroelectric Pb1−xLaxTi1−x/4(x = 0 ∼ 0.28) epitaxial thin films were prepared on MgO(001), SrTiO3(001), and LaAlO3(001) single crystalline substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The change in lattice constants of PLT films by La concentration, x, was investigated systematically for each substrate. RBS studies revealed that the composition of PLT films is consistent with that of the targets. Lattice constants, degree of c-axis orientation, crystal quality of the PLT films were characterized by symmetric and asymmetric X-ray scans. The strain which occurred during the cubic to tetragonal phase transition seemed to be the major factor determining the c-axis orientation configuration, i.e., 90° domain structure and the crystal quality of PLT films.
